Selena Gomez reveals tattoo is not connected to Bieber

Selena Gomez has revealed that her recent new tattoo is not what many reports are suggesting.

The former Wizards Of Waverly Place star had tweeted a picture of what appeared to be a small heart tattoo on her right wrist earlier this week, prompting speculation it was a symbol of love for her boyfriend, Justin Bieber.

However, speaking to E! Online at the Women In Film Cocktail Party, the 19-year-old ex-Disney star revealed the tattoo, which she had inked at the Under The Gun parlour in West Hollywood, was in fact something entirely different:

"It's a music note. Everybody thought it was a heart, but it's a little music note.

"I was named after a singer and music obviously is a big influence for me. And there's music stuff with my mom that means a lot to me, too."

Gomez was spotted last September with a tattoo of the 'Baby' singer’s name on the same wrist during a show in Vegas, something which she later confirmed wasn’t permanent, while she has previously sported a henna dye tattoo of her nickname, ‘Sel,’ on her right shoulder.
